You isolate cells from a tumor and study them. You observe that the cells continue dividing, even when DNA is damaged, when the

cells become crowded, or even when nutrients run low. These observations lead you to suspect that the cells _____.

Answer:

contain a mutated tumor-suppressor gene.

Explanation:

  • A tumor suppressor gene performs the function of regulating the proper division of the cells as well as regulating replication.

The tumor suppressor genes perform the following functions :

  1. Maintain the stability of the genome.
  2. Regulate cell growth.
  3. Regulates cell proliferation rate.
  • Whenever the tumor suppressor genes get mutated it would either result in a loss of its function or a reduction in its function which can lead to the abnormal growth of cells.
  • Hence, if the DNA is damaged, the cells become crowded and the nutrients run low then this indicates that the tumor suppressor genes are mutated.

Is there any great similarity between the muscle structure and muscle arrangement in the cat and humans?
STALIN [3.7K]
The similarity in the arrangement and structure exists mostly with the quads because we, just like cats, need to be able to flex and extend them so we need a lot of strength in them.

What do we call the process where part of the DNA is saved during replication?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The process where part of the DNA is saved during replication is known as semi conservative replication.

Explanation:

During cell division, a cell must first replicate its DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid).  When a cell divides into daughter cells , the DNA of the parent cell must be copied because DNA contains the genetic material of an organism. DNA replication is the process in which DNA is copied  during the cell  division cycle.  During replication, the complementary strands of the original double helix DNA are separated and one of the two strands in the original molecule is saved in the new DNA molecule. Thus the new DNA molecule is made of an original strand and a newly synthesized strand. So the DNA replication is known as semi conservative replication. Each strand of the original DNA molecule is referred as the template strand because it provides information for the production of newly synthesized strand. It takes place inside the nucleus of a cell during the s stage  of the cell cycle. During replication, helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases (Adenine with Thymine, Cytosine with Guanine) and unwinds the double helix of DNA. The two separated strands create a Y-shaped replication fork and act as templates for the synthesis of new strands of DNA. Enzymes known as DNA polymerases create the new strands.
